"In light of the tragedy that has beset our community and the ongoing recovery effort and in consultation with state and local officials, law enforcement, the SEC and LSU, the University of South Carolina will not host the USC v. LSU football game," the university said in statement.

Earlier this week, USC said in a statement that all parties were continuing to monitor the situation. Both South Carolina and LSU were in contact with the Southeastern Conference about the conditions following flooding in the area.

South Carolina athletics director Ray Tanner said Tuesday that playing at LSU was not out of the question, according to a report from Spurs & Feathers.

Spurs & Feathers reports that the field and stadium structure are in working order. Officials said the main concern was for local and out-of-state fans.

Many streets and roadways in Columbia were shut down Sunday because of floodwaters. The historic flooding has caused billions of dollars in damage and led to dam breaks on rivers that still haven't crested.

At least nine dams have breached or failed in South Carolina since Saturday, the state's emergency management agency said early Tuesday.

Officials said information on refunds and credits for tickets purchased for the game at Williams-Brice Stadium will be forthcoming. The Gamecocks are expected to leave Friday for Baton Rouge.
